Catalan ex-leader back in Belgium

Afp, Brussels

Catalonia's deposed president Carles Puigdemont yesterday vowed to "defend the just cause of the Catalan people" as he held a news conference on his return to Belgium. Puigdemont was able to travel from Germany to Belgium, where he has a home, as he no longer risks extradition to Spain after a court dropped a European arrest warrant for him.
